Obama Birth Certificate: Washington Man Files Suit Over Obama Citizenship

Obama Citizenship:
Washington State Man Files Suit

---

Another lawsuit has been filed seeking information over the citizenship of Barack Obama. This time in the Seattle area.

A man from the state of Washington has filed a lawsuit in King County Superior Court asking Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed to obtain proof from Barack Obama of U.S. citizenship or remove Obama's name from Washington presidential ballots.

Steve Marquis, of Fall City, WA, filed the suit yesterday and issued a press release.

From Heraldnet's Obama's birth stirs legal action in Washington

Here is his [Marquis'] press release.

He argues in a 30-page document:

“To avert likely civil unrest and a constitutional crisis…this complaint seeks to resolve such complaints prior to the election. It was incumbent on the candidates to present such documentation, but to date Mr. Obama has failed to do so.

Obama sought to put down this pesty rumor when he posted a picture of his birth certificate online here.

The report cites the Annenberg FactCheck.org conclusion that Obama was a citizen.

The report continues, "Reed forwarded the matter to the Attorney General’s Office. Ballots are still slated to be mailed this week."

Another rumor which made the rounds was that of Joe Biden leaving the Democrat ticket "sometime after October 5 due to health reasons."

That rumor has been laid to rest by the passage of time: ten days after the date it was supposed to happen, Biden is still doggedly on the campaign trail. DBKP reported both the rumor and the dearth of Obama-Biden campaign material available nearly a month after Biden was selected to the Democrat ticket.

The issue of Obama's citizenship has been alive much longer--since the spring of 2008. That the Obama campaign chose to address it in a less-than-forthcoming way causes people to ask questions.

The fact that Barack Obama has chosen not to release medical, college or university records has also raised questions.

Questions which might easily be answered with the release of records which many Americans have to cough up in order to secure employment.

The longer these records remain hidden from the public's view, the more questions--and now, lawsuits--will be initiated.

Why the Obama campaign has not released the records with less than three weeks until the election remains a mystery.

The decision by Obama to fight the federal lawsuit of Phillip Berg, instead of providing documents also raises eyebrows.

Add all of this to the fact that Barack Obama first dodged, then downplayed and finally mis-characterized his relationship with domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers, and you have a recipe for suspicion.

Those suspicions are only increased by the absence of the Obama records.

None of this bothers Obama supporters, but in absence of any legislative record to examine, without the records, there is precious little on which to judge Barack Obama--other than his political speeches and his endorsement by the Mainstream Media.

Perhaps the plan of the Obama campaign is to distract detractors from questions about Obama policies?

If that is true, their plan may be working to some extent.

Time will tell.

Hillary Bumper Stickers Mean Trouble for Obama

Automotive Shorthand for "Obama's Troubles"



[Click images to enlarge.]



A car was spotted in the parking lot at the rally Saturday in Washington, PA for John McCain-Sarah Palin. Actually, it was the bumper which caught our attention.

We realize that one bumper does not speak for any group, but we found this one interesting.

One bumper, four bumper stickers: it seems to show the progression of how, at least one Democrat, arrived at their current political position.





Bumper stickers are snippets of thought, a snapshot of how the person applying the sticker felt about an issue at the time.

With that in mind, the car above may be likened to a political photo album.

The Obama campaign has to hope that such collections, as displayed on the bumper above, are limited.

IF not, Obama-Biden may end up alongside such losing Democrat combinations as Mondale-Ferraro, Dukasis-Bentsen and Kerry-Edwards.

Obama Supporters Protest at PA McCain-Palin Rally

Popular Slogans: "Viagra", "Birth Control", Reproductive Rights"
Steelworkers Protest Palin
Palin's Husband, Todd, is a Steelworker






The road to the John McCain-Sarah Palin rally contained a couple dozen Obama supporters.

McCain-Palin supporters parked in a mall parking lot about a half-mile away and walked up the hill to Consol Energy Field, home of the minor league baseball team, The Wild Things.

On the way, those on their way to the rally trudged past 15-25 protesters: Obama supporters, women's reproductive rights advocates and a few Steelworkers for Obama.




Several of the same organizations protesting supported both Bill Clinton and John Edwards. Both Clinton and Edwards are famous supporters of women's rights.




Running the gamut.





Some of the sign-wavers seemed to be there for the party, including one who apparently confused McCain with 1996 Republican nominee, Bob Dole. Dole was a spokesman for Viagra.















The Steelworkers Union had previously endorsed John Edwards. Like many Edwards' trial lawyer backers and bundlers, they have switched their allegiance to Barack Obama.










Union brotherhood only goes so far: Palin's husband is a member of the United Steelworkers Union. Barack Obama is not a member of any union, although the Rev. Jeramiah Wright, pastor of Obama's Trinity Church, was enrolled at Virginia Union University, in Richmond VA in 1959.










Protect Women's Rights: become an Obama Girl!















A look back at the plucky protesters. One shot that didn't come out: two unnamed young women on their way to the stadium greeting the protesters with the one-fingered salute.

McCain-Palin in PA: Palin a Hit with Everyone but CNN

Palin, McCain a Hit with Crowd
CNN's Story All About "Boos"





John McCain and Sarah Palin appeared in Pennsylvania for the first time as the GOP ticket for November and both were well-received by the overflowing crowd.

Sarah Palin, however, was a hit.

The large and enthusiastic crowd packed Consol Energy Field, located south of Pittsburgh in Washington, PA, and cheer, flags and McCain-Palin "Terrible Towel" knockoffs were the order of the day.

The Alaskan governor spoke after a warm-up by McCain. McCain's enthusiasm for his running mate was evident in his intro: the Arizona senator sounded confident throughout his glowing description of Palin as "the American story".

"She's not part of the American story, she is an American story."





CNN was on the scene, and producer, Peter Hamby, led with "Palin Booed for Mentioning Hillary Clinton".

While that was true, it was the only boos of the afternoon; Palin even got some applause a line earlier when she mentioned Geraldine Ferraro. The 5 seconds of Hillary boos were an anomaly in, what was clearly, a political lovefest.

But what else would CNN have reported? CNN is a flagship of the Mainstream Media and this is one more example of their "unbiased" reporting.

In just her second appearance on the campaign trail with John McCain, newly-minted GOP running mate Sarah Palin was showered with boos on Saturday for attempting to praise Clinton’s trail-blazing bid to become the first female president.

One woman from Penn Hills, holding a "Women for McCain" sign thought Palin was just what McCain needed.

"She's a conservative and she moves the Republicans back to where they need to be."

A brilliantly-sunny afternoon on a Labor Day weekend and an obviously fired-up crowd wouldn't be news for Hamby's regular remaining viewers.






Before the McCain-Palin entourage arrived in the "Straight Talk Express" buses, the crowd was entertained by former Steeler and 2006 PA Republican gubernatorial candidate, Lynn Swann. Swann related about how when he covered the Iditarod dogsled race in Alaska, he was interviewed by Palin, working at the time as a sports reporter for an Alaskan TV station.

Former PA governor and Director of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, introduced McCain to the crowd. Swann made a hasty exit to go see his son play in a pee-wee football game.

A few dozen Obama supporters lined the entrance road to the stadium before the event and urged the crowd to support what they called "real change".

MORE pictures to come later this morning.

John McCain to Appear in Pittsburgh Area Saturday with VP Pick

There seems to be a bit of a question about McCain's upcoming schedule for the next few days, as it pertains to rumors about his possible VP pick.

U.S. News and World report is saying, "Romney's out". The "why" of the move--if true--is the subject of speculation at this point.

Politico weighs in first.

McCain is planning to roll out his vice presidential nominee in three battleground states this weekend, with large-scale rallies planned for Ohio, Pennsylvania and Missouri, according to aides and advisers.

The GOP nominee-in-waiting will move to immediately change the campaign conversation from Barack Obama’s football stadium acceptance speech Thursday to the new Republican ticket, to be revealed at a noontime Friday rally in a Dayton, Ohio, basketball arena. McCain and his running mate will then travel by bus to Pennsylvania, where they’ll hold an outdoor event at a minor league baseball stadium in Washington County, just southwest of Pittsburgh. On Sunday, the duo will head to suburban St. Louis for another event to be held at a minor league baseball stadium, this one in O’Fallon, Mo.

Allahpundit at Hot Air, in a comment to the above: "Note well: There seems to be no Saturday event on the schedule. Joementum?"

We'll only report that today we obtained our ticket for Saturday's event at Consol Field, where McCain and his new running mate are set to make a 5 pm appearance on their Road to the Convention.

We're not sure if this clears anything up, but we'll echo this sentiment from Allah:
"Is Maverick actually going to drop Joementum on us on Friday?"
